Rose Bud
Also known as: Rosebud, Rosebud OG
Overview
Rose Bud is a rare indica dominant hybrid strain with unknown genetics due to a high level of breeder secrecy about its heritage. The strain appears to have multiple phenotypes and variations from different breeders, with genetic studies and breeding reports suggesting that it originates from Afghani landrace strains and Skunk genetics, which contribute to its resin production, sedative effects, and earthy-floral aroma. Some sources suggest additional influences from Haze genetics, with some phenotypes exhibiting mild cerebral stimulation.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive floral appearance and aroma. The buds are typically compact and display a deep green color accented with bright orange hairs, creating a visually captivating contrast. The conical structure of the buds is a nod to its indica lineage, as they commonly present with heavy resin glands and a sticky texture. The buds often exhibit a mix of vibrant green hues, accentuated by flashes of purple or pink, reminiscent of blooming rose petals. The nugs have a compact and resinous structure, reflecting the quality and potency of the strain.
Rose Bud has gained recognition for its balanced effects and therapeutic potential. Its balanced effects and favorable safety profile make it an ideal candidate for patients new to medical cannabis. Its predictability and well-documented outcomes have led many healthcare professionals to recommend it as a first-line option. The strain's name likely derives from its appearance or its smell, with users noting its distinctive rose-like floral aroma and visual characteristics.

Growing Information
Flowering time of 55-65 days with expected yields of 400 g/m² indoors and 550 g/plant outdoors. Harvest typically occurs in October. The strain is considered intermediate to grow and performs well in Mediterranean climates. Growers are advised to maintain an environment with temperatures ranging between 68°F and 80°F during the day and slightly cooler at night. This stable climate ensures robust bud development and guards against the onset of mildew, a risk often cited in indica cultivation. Indoor humidity levels should be maintained between 40-50% during peak flowering, with controlled ventilation to reduce fungal infections by over 30%. The strain responds well to organic soil amendments and balanced lighting protocols.
